Afternoon Tea

The Adolphus Afternoon Tea, A Cherished Dallas Tradition

“There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.”

- Henry James, Portrait of a Lady

The English tradition of afternoon tea has charmed Adolphus guests for generations. The imperial elegance of the hotel's Lobby Living Room provides the perfect setting for chatting with friends, relaxing with colleagues, or simply adding a little romance to your day. On the menu are beautifully prepared finger sandwiches, scones, and confections. Rich and flavorful international teas complement the afternoon tea fare. A classical pianist plays the hotel's 1893 Steinway, which once graced the home of the Guggenheim family in New York.

Afternoon tea is served Friday through Sunday, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Reservations are required. The last seating is at 3:30 p.m. There are no seatings at 4:00 p.m. or later.
